What is the Global Challenge?

In 2015, world leaders came together to decide on a series of "global goals" to build a better world. We challenged students aged 8-12 across the globe to consider how these goals could change the lives of themselves and others, and to design solutions to these goals using the micro:bit. Supported by a number of delivery partners, our Global Challenge competition saw hundreds of entries from a diverse range of countries, cultures, and backgrounds. We were thrilled to receive so many unique ideas ideas tackling the Safety challenge or the Non-communicable diseases challenge! The winners will be announced in Jan 2019 and the will attend a fantastic event at the Museum of London.
